Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jul 15, 2005 5:00pm PDTOne thing that is kind of fun about resumes is finding out just how many publications out there have discontent employees. We should do this more often! Off to watch some trashy Wedding Crasher movie!

It feels weird trying to do random tech support for my own box, since Im used to telling other people what their problems are, but frankly, google has not been my friend on this one, and, since Ive been without my computer for about a week now (and WoW at that, what the fuck) I bring my problems to the shack.
Last week, after a 16 hour work day during Arts Fest (Central PA crazy thing that everyone gets drunk and I work third shift at a Diner for one job) I come home to find my computer with the message "WINLOGON.EXE - Module cannot load because OLE32.dll cannot be found".
This error message shows up before logon, therefore I cannot access any part of my box through Windows, Safe Mode or Normal.
Now I need three questions answered here.
A) What is OLE32.dll responsible for.
B) What solutions are available for replacing this individual file. And finally,
C) Is this a one time file corruption or a signal that something else is wrong, namely hard drive corruption, ram corruption, or something possibly wrong in Windows.
I dont recall installing anything right before this happened, so...um...right.
Help plz.
A Futurama DVD movie has been greenlit, and there is talk of a possible second if things go well.

July 15, 2005 - In the first of IGN's exclusive Video Blogs direct from San Diego's Comic-Con International, voice actor Billy West (Fry, Zoidberg, the Professor, and many more voices for many more shows) revealed to us that a brand-new direct-to-video Futurama movie has been greenlit. Not only that, but there is also an option for a second movie as well.
Yes! I'll be getting my puppy favorite show back!

Two inquires.
#1, we are looking at buying a condo like, right downtown. Between 1st and 11th street, and between I-35 and say, Lamar.
Anyway, we can do this but the place will be pretty small. No biggie; we plan on moving out in 4-5 years after it appreciates. But my question is, Is it livable right downtown? Nice, safe, etc? The area looks great and there are some condos on Guadalupe near the Capitol for a very inexepnsive (relatively) price. Would you live right downtown?
#2 - Roaches. Fucking gross. My wife just killed one we found in the bathroom. Are these a problem or is this summer rental just shitty? Can you prevent bugs in a slightly older place? This is one thing where a condo comes out on top: pest control. In a highrise type building it's probably very very unlikely to ever see a roach. They're SO FUCKING GROSS too.

So even though I realize that a lot of it is silly, such as Power metal or Viking metal... to me the epitome of silliness has been Cradle of Filth because although they have a lot of pretentious work, the dramatic way they go about it always has made me laugh. So dognose a long time ago recommended to me that I listen to the Midian album, and recently I've gotten around to delving into it a bit more.
Holy crap, I'm really enjoying these guys. :O
I mean, they're silly, they're pretentious, but when I look at it as some sort of big "Metal opera" with crazy silly vocals and quite a bit of good musicianship, it's not bad.
Anorexia Nervosa makes these guys sound like Hanson though. Most. Brutal. Black Metal. Ever.

Harkov: Please die. Please. I will concede that you and Thane can wipe the floor with me in helo-vs-helo combat. However, my dudes can get in your base and steal your helo, whereas your guys FAILED every single time. Oh, and smax was still fucking your teams shit up despite us getting blown out of the sky whenever you can by. :D
smax: Hahahahaha, god that was awesome. Thanks for gunning, sorry we kept getting pasted by Harkov and his evil little gunner. I'm sure the RAMPAGESyou had with the cannon made up for it.
scrowubit: MVP for stealing the Cobra multiple times, that was great.
Screens to follow shortly, plus some commentary about what happened on Karkand. Yeah, Karkand. Remember that?

"Audio log of Dr. (I forgot), things are slowly returning to normal around here after the crazy accident from three days ago. Still, I've got a funny feeling that there's something creepy going on, so I've stored some weapons in my locker. The code to unlock is 4-6, no, wait, 5-... Wwait, why am I even saying this in a log? God only knows WHO will listen to this thing."

Encoding isn't as nice as I'd like it to be...hrml... still, I thought I had a pretty good run (doubled my previous score) and I got to pull off a few neat moves, even if I did play the pussy and shy away from a bunch of medals because of the onslaught of enemy bullets (which really wasn't that heavy, and it still made me sweat :( ).
So yea, enjoy!
